Not that your examples are wrong, but you're missing my point. IMHO, Dvorak slams anything new or different because of his own personal incredulity and then tries to retrofit the reasons afterward.

Sometimes he's on the money. Personally, I think it's Broken Clock Syndrome.

As internic points out below, TWIT is a panel discussion. AFAIK, there's no check box to delete a panelist when you download the podcast.

Also, "listen" was meant among lines of "consider the advice of", not the actual act.

I'm not saying everyone should write only positive reviews. My point is that Dvorak's style is to complain/denigrate everything in sight, with most of his 'evidence' boiling down to "It stinks!". He's like a real-life version of Jay Sherman from "The Critic". It's hard to take someone seriously when they're always screaming that everything is crap.

I've been listening to Dvorak on Twit for a few years now. Why does anyone listen to this guy? His whole shtick is to say everything sucks. I'm guessing LaPorte, Marketwatch, et. al. have him on for the "controversy", but more often than not he's just wasting everyone's time.

I know this stuff has been beaten to death, but here's a guy who:

A) thought the mouse was a waste of time
B) thought the iPhone would fail
C) proclaimed there was no way Google would ever buy YouTube

among other things. In a strange sort of way, I almost admire him. He's managed to make a career of just complaining about stuff with not much to back it up.

The only thing I sort of remember is Dvorak claiming he had the scoop on Apple switching to Intel, but IIRC the rocket scientists at MacOS Rumors made the same claim. The implication here is that that prediction may not have been the most difficult to devine (i.e., saying that in the future, there will be a cure for cancer or some other disease.)

Quite frankly, if Dvorak is shitting all over Win7, my first reaction is that it's probably going to do well. In some ways, Dvorak is to tech as Jim Cramer is to stocks: Do the opposite of what they say and you'll be fine.
